Games


 Engelfish

Sunday night we attended a SuperBowl party held by friend and fellow Flickrati, Keith.  The pregame festivities included throwing the nerf-knockoff around, as well as the supermini-plastic ball, and the superman football.  That moved on to more of a soccerball version of hackysack play, with lots of chasing a ball into the street and spilling of adult beverages.  Once the game started, we all moved indoors.  I expected to really watch the game, as we had at previous SuperBowl parties.  I was wrong.  I think I watched maybe the first quarter of the game, with snippets throughout, and then the celebration at the end.  The rest of the game was spent taking snapshots of the partygoers, playing with the puppies, talking with friends, and eating.  I’ll be the first person to admit that I’m not a sports fan, but I certainly do enjoy going to the parties.

While I’m not your typical video game player (Halo & Snood experiences aside) I’ve found one of those that sucks you in.  It’s called Missile Game 3D, and it is deceptive.  Your perspective is that you’re in the nose of a missle, flying along inside a tunnel.   Your goal is to guide the missle, with your mouse, through a series of rotating obstacles.  It sounds easy, but it takes a bit of practice to be able to get through all nine levels.
